| Compared to other businesses, a contract cleaning company costs little to start. Although entering the cleaning business can be more costly if you want perfection, those that know about cleaning and start slowly and watch their expenses can also enter the industry inexpensively—at least compared to many other businesses.
One of the bigger issues that often comes up when starting a carpet cleaning or contract cleaning business is whether you should go big and make it a franchise or just remain small. Many small cleaning companies have created or have joined franchises. There are certainly benefits to starting or buying in to a franchise—whether a carpet cleaning or commercial cleaning franchise—but then again we find people do just as well building their own companies from scratch.

You can choose to be a(n) Cleaning Supplies :
- Sole Proprietor,
- LLC,
- Corporation or
- Partnership.
After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.
Fort Wayne Business Tax Registration (
Business License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.
|
A(n) Cleaning Supplies business using a fictitious business name in
Allen County
i.e. you are a business with a trade name other than the owner's legal (full name) name are required to get a(n)
fictitious business name.
For instance you open a(n)
Cleaning Supplies
business and you name it "Superior
Cleaning Supplies
Group". You will need to file a fictitious business name for that name.

In addition note that in
IN
you may also need a seller's permit if you sell merchandise that is taxable.
(A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale,
reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit
Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID.
However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a
business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting
a federal tax ID number.
In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees.
I.e., a IN Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) IN State Employer Tax Number
Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in
Fort Wayne, Incorporate in IN or form a(n) IN LLC .
You have a choice to file a DBA or form an LLC or incorporate.
There is a cicrcumstance that you may not need to register a trade name and that is when you use your full name as a business name if you use your full legal name as a trade name.
Also note that even using your first and last name may not help you avoid filing a DBA if the name has a suffix such as "& sons" etc.
If you do form an Internet Selling llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Cleaning Supplies business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba),
that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Fort Wayne business name.
Instead of just registering your Allen County assumed business name (our fee includes assumed business name registration and legal newspaper publication) you can choose to setup a corporation in
IN or form an IN LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes required documents such as bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC). .
